Graffiti Hall of Fame

New York City is the birthplace of style writing. It is here that young graffiti writers first began to transform letters from simple tags on a wall to elaborate masterpieces of colorful letters embellished with characters. Depicting friends, heroes and tributes to a diverse range of cultural influences.
Since the days when graffiti first gained popularity in New York City, the schoolyards were congregation locations for kids eager to practice graffiti writing while hanging out. One of their favorite painting spots since the late 1970's was a schoolyard in Harlem, used by artist from the neighborhood to hone their painting skills. This playground eventually later became New York City's official Graffiti Hall of Fame.

Its motto "Strictly Kings and Better", dared only the most accomplished graffiti artist to leave their marks, and over the years the word spread beyond NYC to the far reaches of the World. A beacon to the creme de la creme of the graff world, every year as artist come to graffiti mecca of NYC in search of fame. GHOF has been in existence for over 37 years and has been a cornerstone of NYC's hip-hop movement and evolution over the decades. The legacy continues..
